DWED first alpha (Announce)

Hello!

Feeling the lack of text editors for MS-DOS :-D , I made my own. Yes, one more :-) . I published the first version - it looks like it is fully functional, but it seems I forgot to add Tetris (and few other "major" features).

Main features:

* Support files over 64k
* Support syntax highlight (C / Pascal / Asm / Xml / Html / Txt etc)
* Support multiple file editing at the same time
* Support internal clipboard (up to 32k)
* Don't require DPMI-server or 80286 CPU

(was added later) Restrictions:

* This software is writen in Turbo Pascal, so string length is limited to 255 chars.
* DOS-conventional memory will be enought to load file up to ~300k..400k (expect - 300k border).
* No UnDo/ReDo functionality. The reason is the same as why i dont build AST for syntax hightlight - no memory for this.

PS: Development still in progress, i am use DWED for development, now.
PPS: This is a real development version - for example i don't add "change syntax highlight style" dialog. All other (more useful) features - ok. Just press F1 and read help for more info.
PPPS: This is a result of my butthurt, received from development for DOS under DOS, during last few years.

Make DOS great again!
